Info

In 1960, the ruins of an American bomber were found in the Libyan desert, but the remains of the crew were never located. In Guerdon Trueblood's teleplay, the ghosts of a bomber crew hang around their derelict plane, awaiting the day that their bones will be recovered and given a decent burial. The sole survivor, navigator Russell Hamner, has in the intervening 25 years become a General. He joins an investigation team that has come across the wreckage, while the ghosts, headed by Major Devlin, plot to expose Hamner as a coward who deserted his post and left his crew mates to die.

Sole Survivor Audience Reviews

Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
malcmgm A superb film and a pleasant surprise to come across it on You Tube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqxZoVLn6Tg.Compelling from start to finish and very original even though based on a true story.The story is well presented and unfolds cleverly keeping you thinking all the time and not quite sure what is going to happen next. Shatner is fine even though he still playing Kirk as in all his films. The performances of the the aviators are great and the casting is spot on. I started watching this film at 1am and only intended to watch the first half hour but couldn't stop watching it until the I reached the satisfying conclusion. Very very good!
pretchless2 It has been years since I saw this film, but it has always stood out as a great story about the planes and crews of World War II who never returned from their missions.Is it possible that the crews of these lost planes might be ghosts, hoping that one day they will be found so their spirits can be put to rest? What do these ghosts do to pass the time while they wait to be found? I always remember the scene where the ghosts of the dead airmen are playing baseball while listening to the investigating team as they examine the crash site. The current news they hear is that the Dodgers and the Giants have moved to the West Coast. The story keeps the viewer in suspense as you wonder if the "sole survivor" will be found out and if the bodies of the dead airmen will be recovered. An exceptional piece of work...
studio-55 I must have seen this as a young child in the 70's and as an adult I have searched many times for this film, not knowing it's name. I've spent hours pouring over lists of movies, from 'war' to 'ghost' categories and maybe never found it as it was made for TV. i would never have guessed it wasn't a cinema release such was it's impact.I found it funnily enough by looking up 'sole survivor' the name of a book on a little boy who strangely enough is the reincarnated sole of a second world war pilot (check out his story, his name is James Leiningerand they are making his story into a film)This 1970 film is excellent and left a deep impression on me, the final scenes in particular. I'd love to get hold of a copy as I only saw it once over 30 years ago. The details of the plot in my mind are pretty sketchy now but the mood and drama of it created a very strong impression on me.
Robert Anderson Its strange to read some of the comments above, we all seem to have the same story about this movie, the fact that we all saw it so long ago, for me over 20 years, and searched for the title and finally finding the movie, and enjoying it all over again...its strange how a film can touch so many people in the same way. I have seen thousands of movies in the past but have never had a film touch me and make me search so long to see it again. I actually sat with my children to watch the movie, and they seem to enjoy it, but who knows they be the next travellers on the quest.... I'm just glad that I have finally come to the end of the journey, and was able to purchase a copy of this film from Ebay...thank god for Ebay and the Internet, Or who knows how long the journey would have lasted....
